i can confirm this behaviour, it's the same over here.
something is recognised as drawer if its name is either in the list
'org-drawers or defined in the current file with #+DRAWERS.

try to add "test" either to org-drawers
e.g.
(setq org-drawers '("PROPERTIES" "CLOCK" "LOGBOOK" "RESULTS" "test2"))

or add it to the file's headers:
#+DRAWERS: HIDDEN STATE PROPERTIES BIG  low

and revert the buffer, if it's already open.
as a hint: in my settings, a drawer is colored green.
if you use an undefined string for a drawer name, it is white. so you quickly
see, if your string is a defined drawer.
and another, you can get completetions with TAB when you do C-c C-x d, your
string should be in the list.
